Antinutrients Q. What about wheat germ? Does it have the same antinutrients as the whole grain? A. Afraid so. Antinutrients are found in various concentrations in
all parts of the whole grain. For example, compared to the whole grain,
wheat germ has less alkyl resorcinol but much higher concentrations of
the nasty lectin, 'WGA'. Be wary of any grain products and keep them to a very modest part of the diet. [i] Corrdain;
